Become your own green energy provider SMA Energy Systems for your home help you cut your energy costs instantly and over the long term by allowing you to exploit the unlimited power of the sun to generate free and envi ronmentally friendly solar power. This is how you become independent from electric utility companies and do not have to worry about rising energy prices. Any solar power that you do not need can be fed into your electric utility company’s grid for a fixed feed-in tariff. Since the feed-in tariff is much lower than the power purchase price, it is worth using as much self-generated power as possible to mini mize the amount of additional power you have to buy. In the future, you will also be able to sell the solar power. Thanks to your SMA Energy System, you will fulfill all the necessary technological criteria for the energy market of the future.

Benefits+ Save up to 30 % on energy costs+ Protection against rising energy prices+ Additional income from grid feed-in or,

in the future, direct marketing + Personal contribution to climate

Store solar power and use it flexibly

Maintain your solar energy supply – even when the sun is not shiningSometimes, the sun delivers more power than you currently need. You would normally feed in the surplus power for a feed-in tariff that is considerably lower than the current power prices. Sometimes, however, solar power is not available when you need a lot of power – for example, if you want to charge your electric car overnight. This means that you would normally have to purchase expensive power from the utility grid. Your SMA Energy System makes it possible to consume a bigger share of your solar power yourself: Thanks to highly efficient storage systems, you can temporarily store electricity that is not needed immediately and use it later if necessary. You will therefore have to pur chase less additional electricity from the grid. In fact, the benefits of consuming as much solar power as possible yourself instead of feeding the surplus power into the grid are twofold: You would receive less money for grid feed-in than you would have to pay for purchasing power from the utility grid.

Manage appliances intelligently

Systematic and intelligent energy managementSMA Energy Systems for your home ensure that appli ances such as your washing machine, dryer or dishwasher are operated only in periods when your PV system is delivering sufficient solar power – manually or completely automatical-ly. This means that you use more self-generated solar power and do not have to purchase as much additional energy from the utility grid. By prioritizing consumption of your own solar power, you can operate home appliances with a high energy efficiency class even more economically and thus optimize your ecological footprint. The Sunny Home Man-ager combines all energy flows in your home to create an intelligent system and, if you require, can control them fully automatically to help you get the most out of your solar power. On the basis of an online weather forecast and your own consumption analysis, the system creates a day-by-day yield forecast. As a result, Sunny Home Manager 2.0 knows in advance exactly when a lot of solar power will be available and when the right time is to start the washing machine.

Refuel with solar power

Driven by the sunSMA Energy Systems for your home make e-mobility eco-logically and economically sensible: Thanks to Sunny Home Manager 2.0, you can charge your electric vehicle when your PV system is delivering enough solar power for this. On the basis of an online weather forecast and your own consumption analysis, the system creates a day-by-day yield forecast. As a result, Sunny Home Manager 2.0 exactly knows in advance when a lot of solar power will be avail-able. This helps increase the share of solar power that you consume yourself. Every kilowatt hour of solar power that you consume is power that you no longer have to purchase at high cost from your electric utility company. The power is converted directly to kilometers – it could not be any easier, cleaner or more cost-effective! The Sunny Home Manager 2.0 shows the solar share of your consumption. On this basis, you can easily calculate how many kilometers you have driven with solar power. Sunny Home Manager 2.0 connects your electric car and all other loads to create a single, intelligent system. All consumption cycles are controlled so that you consume as much solar power as possible, which in turn helps you cut your energy costs considerably.


Compatible charging system this prioritizes self-generated solar power for charging your e-vehicle. The system is compatible with the charging systems of various manufacturers.

Cut your heating costsThanks to SMA Energy Systems for your home you can also use your self-generated solar power to heat your home – for example, using a heat pump or heating element. Sunny Home Manager 2.0 controls the system so that solar power is prioritized for running the heat pump and the surplus energy is efficiently stored for later use in a thermal storage system. On the basis of an online weather forecast prepared by SMA and your own consumption analysis, the system creates a day-by-day yield forecast. As a result, Sunny Home Manager 2.0 knows in advance when exactly a lot of solar power will be available – and when the right time is to fill the thermal storage system via the heat pump. Inte grating your heating system allows you to consume more of your own solar power, which reduces the amount of additional power you need to purchase from the utility grid. It is always worth consuming as much solar power as possible yourself instead of feeding the surplus power into the grid: You would receive less money for grid feed-in than you would have to pay for purchasing power from the utility grid. In this way, you can dramatically cut your heat-ing costs and, in turn, your overall energy costs.

Store solar power and use it flexibly

Use solar power when it is worthwhileWhether in small or medium-sized businesses, supermarkets or agricultural facilities, load peaks are a problem for any company. If the power consumption exceeds the quantity agreed upon with the electric utility company, this can lead to increased provision charges for all the power – often over the entire year. But a highly efficient battery-storage system can help you avoid expensive load peaks by allowing you to store solar power temporarily and use it when ever you need it. When a load peak is expected, the required power is drawn not from the utility grid but from the battery-storage system. Your electric utility company will stay completely unaware of this, and your rate will remain exactly as it is. However, battery-storage systems have other uses. In addi-tion to helping you manage load peaks, for example, you can continue supplying operational machines with solar power even when the sun is not shining in turn reducing the amount of power that you need to purchase. This means that you increase the share of self-generated power in your company’s energy mix – the most cost-effective use of solar power.

Components Benefits+ Cut energy costs by up to 40 % + Cap load peaks by using stored solar power

as and when needed + Increase self consumption of solar power:

the most cost-effective use + Optimized use of time- and performance-based

energy supply tariffs + Yields of up to 18 %

Use solar power for heating

Make heating with fossil fuels a thing of the pastYour SMA Energy System for Business ensures monitoring of your operational heat supply. You can now manually integrate power-consuming heating systems such as heat pumps, CHPs and boilers into your energy systems and supply them with self-generated solar power from your PV system – directly from your roof or from the battery-storage system. In the near future, it will be possible to control them automatically. If you use an energy system based on renewable energy – a heat pump, for example – you can heat your business without causing CO₂ emissions and never have to pay another gas or oil bill. With a thermal storage system, you can store additional solar energy that you can use to heat your building or to heat water. This helps increase the share of solar power that you consume yourself. This is the most cost-effective use, since your cost for using additional power is high er than what you receive for the grid feed-in of power.

Sell your solar power – directly and with ease

Generate additional yields on the energy exchange with easeAccording to the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG), PV systems from 100 kWp are required to sell surplus power directly and cannot simply feed it into the grid for a fixed feed-in tariff. Many PV system operators avoid the time and effort involved in doing this and instead plan systems that remain just below this threshold. But they miss out on addi-tional income that they could generate through direct marketing. SMA SPOT makes direct marketing remarkably easy with perfectly harmonized system technology – includ-ing remote control and online data monitoring – you can use to easily and sustainably integrate your PV system into direct marketing. We will support you in complying with all relevant legal requirements. A signature and one click, that’s it – the rest will be done by your SMA Energy System in conjunction with SMA Data Manager M. This will help you optimize yields and boost the efficiency of your investment. From 2021, SMA SPOT will support direct marketing from older systems too, which at that point will stop receiving the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) feed-in tariff.
